Question Hydraulic Throw Out Bearing

Because the "search" is not working, I'm posting this thread . . .

Recently went on a short trip. Upon my return (about 2.5 miles from home) I lost all clutch pressure. The pedal seemed to "go away" gradually. I've burst a pressure feed line before, so I know what that feels like . . . in this case, each time I stopped at at traffic light, I had to push the clutch further and further to the floor to shift gears . . . and then I couldn't shift at all (out of fluid, I guess) end of story, I had to get towed home.

Anyway, I've read several other threads concerning these types of throwout/clutch release bearings, but I can't seem to find them.

I believe the one I currently have is a McCleod (not exactly sure by memory) and I understand that the "O" rings can fail, or have been replaced with a more durable material. Also by recollection, I remember someone mentioning something about a "Tilton" or "Hayes" hydraulic throwout bearing.

FYI: I have a Toploader 4 Speed, and have the large threaded adjustment collar mounted with gasket and 4 bolts over the input shaft.

I would be interested in repair suggestions, alternative suppliers for parts, and/or a reputable mechanic in the St. Clair Shores, Michigan area to do the work. I've had the tranny out of the car twice already for other repairs/upgrades and it's a PITA to work on.

Any/all ideas, suggestions would be appreciated . . . Woodward Dream Cruise is only a few weeks away!
